Hi all
I implemented the <examplar> to behave as suggested by torsten and it
is available in less than 5 min (I loved it). An example is JUST a
class method returning an instance.
examplar is JUST... :)
CTGrid class >> grid22
<examplar>
"self grid22"
| grid1 |
grid1 := self new: 2.
grid1 atRow: 1 atColumn: 1 put: 1.
grid1 atRow: 1 atColumn: 2 put: 3.
grid1 atRow: 2 atColumn: 1 put: 2.
grid1 atRow: 2 atColumn: 2 put: 4.
^ grid1
You can use this method as any class method in the past. NOTHING new!!
So in particular your test can use it to build a fixture (yes reuse).
You can use this method in several test cases (yes reuse).
Now nautilus supports nicely <examplar> methods: you can execute them
and get a cool GTInspector open on them. So this is similar to the
method exampleSomething from Nautilus point of view. And now people
can use example to create/open/... their lovely examples (that may not
return instances). And we get examplar methods that must return an
instance but can behave as example from Nautilus perspective.

If you want to try you can load the CTGrid packages
ScriptLoader new unloadPackageNamed: 'Collections-Grid'.
ScriptLoader new unloadPackageNamed: 'Collections-Grid-Tests'.

Click on class side of CTGrid and press the triangle and yes you get
an inspector on this instance.

Hi
In my projects I start to do the following:
I create <examplar> class method that returns an prototypical instance.
I use such methods in my tests as fixture.
Then I would like to have nautilus presenting to me the <examplar>
with a little triangle and when I press
on them I get an inspector on them.
This way I get the same behavior than with default <example> methods
that open an widget, image....
If we agree on that
- I can take all the <example> and turn them if necessary into
examplar.
- extend Nautilus to send an inspect to the result of examplar
tagged method.
I think that we can achieve a lot in terms of discovery with such
simple changes.

PS: I reread the old thread and I think that this is a reasonable
approach that makes
the pro instances (like me) and the pro examples showing some things
(like me) happy.
